Chapter 470 Goodbye Hua Xiaoling
On the Sky Train, Chen Sixuan, who had been sleeping lightly for a few hours, suddenly woke up from her dream. Looking at the new and spacious living cabin space, she slowly sat up and glanced at the room. The current room was where she lived independently, not with Lin Xian. Her space for activities was much larger. Chen Sixuan rubbed her face, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
So she stood up and reached into the nano-charging box. The silver nano-armor quickly covered her fingers and began to climb, quickly wrapping around her body and showing off her curvy figure perfectly. Then bright stripes appeared on the nano-soft armor, making it look like a full-body tight-fitting lining suit.
In fact, these nano components can be reconstructed at any time into an Executor X0 armor with a high-energy combat system and flight capabilities. Although its protective capabilities are not as good as the Black Dragon Armor of the building or Ning Jing's Executor X1, it is light and highly agile, and its daily protection is not weak. Except for taking a bath and sleeping, Chen Sixuan has become accustomed to wearing this nano armor as a piece of clothing, which is in line with her increasingly cautious personality.
Walking out of the room, Chen Sixuan saw that there was no light on in Lin Xian's living cabin opposite, so she went up to the bridge. At this time, only Viola was on the bridge.
"Where's Lin Xian?"
Chen Sixuan asked.
…
In the Vegas amusement park, the night wind howled through the gaps of the dilapidated and decaying amusement facilities. The dolls and paintings that once existed gave off a strange and chilling feeling in the darkness, just like the feeling that Hua Xiaoling's appearance in this place at this moment gave Lin Xian.
Lin Xian's first reaction at this moment was that there might be something on him that caused him to be followed. Another bolder guess was that Hua Xiaoling appeared here with the "will" of the dark civilization.
He took a step forward, calmly stepped on the drone that was flying towards him accurately, and then slowly landed on the ground, looking at this woman who made him feel extremely mysterious.
The second time he saw Hua Xiaoling, this woman gave him a very strange feeling, a feeling that was hard to describe. Hua Xiaoling was not beautiful, but of average appearance. Apart from a pair of deep eyes that seemed to be gleaming with light, there was nothing special about her. However, Lin Xian knew that this woman and the foundation behind her were a very mysterious existence that might have a crucial impact on the survival of mankind.
Click.
Lin Xian stepped onto the ground, and the two of them stared at each other in the dark open space of the amusement park. The light of the night sky was dim and thin, casting a layer of silver gauze on the two of them.
"I know you're curious."
It was Hua Xiaoling who broke the silence first. Just like when they first met, she gave Lin Xian a kind smile. "You're curious why I'm here. Do you think I've planted a tracker on you? Are you curious if I'll attack you and your team, or if there's a fight here? If you're still worried about that, I can tell you that nothing will happen tonight. I hold no hostility towards you."
"Is this what your master meant?" Lin Xian asked back.
Hua Xiaoling's eyes swept across Lin Xian's face, and then she smiled faintly: "Remember when we first met, I told you about the purpose of our SIID Foundation?"
Lin Xian looked at her and asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to tell you that you don't have to be wary of me. Our goal is to save humanity." Hua Xiaoling added: "Use human power to save humanity."
After saying that, she gave Lin Xian a slight look, then turned around and walked in one direction, saying
"The Crimson World is indeed an organization we founded and supported, including the current Holy City Organization and Divine Revelation. However, the diversity of human thought leads to different understandings of the end of the world and the apocalypse. This kind of ideological arrogance is also one of the drawbacks that hinder social development. Of course, facing life and death, the desire for survival is a common sense among humans. Therefore, the Phoenix Order was able to quickly unite people and lead the last survivors of humanity in a global migration."
Lin Xian followed behind her and said, "Are you trying to say that the things that Crimson World and the Holy City Organization did were not the original intention of your foundation, or do you want to distance yourself from them?"
"You can think of it that way." Hua Xiaoling walked ahead and said calmly, "I'm just saying this to pave the way for communicating with you."
"Then what?"
"Don't you want to know the secrets of the dark civilization?" Hua Xiaoling stopped and looked back at him, then continued walking forward.
Lin Xian's face was slightly stern. He had secretly sent messages to Viola and the Sky Train. Looking at Hua Xiaoling's back, he took a deep breath and continued to follow.
Hua Xiaoling did not continue talking, but kept walking in the dark amusement park, stepping on the dead leaves. No zombies or strange creatures appeared along the way. The two walked one after the other for two minutes and turned into an open area.
At this moment, Lin Xian's eyes narrowed. The open area in front of him seemed to be a performance area before the amusement park, but what surprised him was that at this time, there was a brand new tactical tent standing strangely in the open space. The lights inside were bright, and there was no one around and it was silent.
Hua Xiaoling walked to the edge of the tent, pulled open the curtain, and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Xian.
"Come in and sit down."
Lin Xian scanned the tent with his Mechanical Heart and only found some holographic devices and lighting and power systems. Apart from that, there was only a simple set of tables and chairs, and no other weapons or the like.
"You came all this way here just to treat me to tea?"
Hua Xiaoling said, "Chen Yanxiu's team was responsible for the last round of orders to strangle you, but they failed. Some people within our organization do regard you as an enemy of civilizational evolution, but I have also reminded them that these methods are not enough to pose a threat to you."
She looked at Lin Xian: "Or rather, killing you is not the master's true intention."
Hua Xiaoling said, "You must be curious about the operating logic of the offshore geothermal base. Is it surveillance, guidance, or perhaps some kind of research? I have to say that your escape from there is nothing short of a miracle. At least from a human perspective, it's a small victory in a biological game. I can tell you now that the true purpose of the geothermal base is to use Uniga-1 on Haiyan Island to eliminate the strange entities transmitted from Star Abyss No. 13 and Star Abyss No. 8 to the continental shelf, thereby reducing the impact on the coastal areas of Dragon Country."
"Ah?" Lin Xian frowned.
Hua Xiaoling's words stunned Lin Xian for a moment. He thought he had misheard.
"Have you ever considered that while a large number of high-level strange entities modeled after marine life have spread across various star abysses, why hasn't Yongcheng Port suffered a serious impact in the seaward direction?" Hua Xiaoling smiled and said, "During the Battle of Dawn City, you faced attacks from three sides, yet only the eastward direction of Yongcheng Port remained quiet. Doesn't this speak volumes?"
Lin Xian was silent. It's not that he and the Phoenix Society hadn't thought about this issue before, and Ye Lan had also made a plan for it. Hearing what Hua Xiaoling said, he was shocked. His subconscious told him that he shouldn't believe what this woman said, but it seemed to make some sense.
Those large strange entities, A-level special ones were all hunted and eliminated by the Giant Ocean God in the area of Haiyan Island, so naturally the impact on the coastline was small. After all, Lin Xian had seen with his own eyes the terrifying scale of those monsters marching on the seabed like land.
"I can also tell you that the black gear you obtained is a super-A-class taboo object. It is two levels higher than the containment level of your 1542 radio and flashing bullets. It is one of the most important treasures of the Holy Revelation leader Chen Yanxiu. The method of containment must be death, but its characteristic is that the carrier can walk in the dimension of Xingyuan. In other words, it can ignore the influence of Xingyuan and see the world of higher dimensions in it. However, the logic of the taboo object itself is the anchoring singularity of the four-dimensional dark world in the three-dimensional world, so it will release the characteristic power of the higher-dimensional world. This taboo object will mirror the time of walking, and after the countdown ends, the dimensional time you originally walked will be mirrored and collapsed. Simply put, the time in the four-dimensional world is released in the three-dimensional world, and what is manifested is similar to the world in Xingyuan being erupted. Do you understand?"
Lin Xian frowned when he heard this and didn't react for a moment.
Hua Xiaoling looked at him, said nothing, and turned and walked into the tent.
Lin stopped there for a moment, curious about what she had just said, and simply followed her in.
Lifting the curtain of the tent, there was a brightly lit space inside. On the clean and flat carpet was an empty mahogany tea table and two tea chairs, one for host and one for guest. Apart from that, there was only a suspended projection device like a spherical drone. There was nothing else.
"As expected, you want to treat me to tea." Lin Xian looked at the time: "Isn't this time a bit inappropriate?"
Hua Xiaoling had already sat down in front of the tea table. She silently pulled out an ebony tea tray from under the table. Her movements were as gentle as brushing away dust. When her fingertips brushed across the tea set, two tea cups made of bluish-white jade were quietly standing still. The thin body was translucent like freshly frozen ice. The teapot was a plain purple clay pear-shaped teapot, the color of the clay was like iron.
Like a skilled tea artist, she calmly began to brew tea, and said as she brewed the tea
"It won't take up too much of your time, and you don't need to send your team members over. Firstly, we won't resort to violence, and secondly, I don't want to disturb your peace. Of course, I'm not looking for you to reminisce about the past. After all, we don't have much to reminisce about. I'll naturally tell you my purpose, but you need to let go of some of your grudges, such as those drones and the woman who aimed her sniper rifle at this place."
Lin Xian shrugged, walked over and sat down in front of Hua Xiaoling. Looking at Hua Xiaoling, who was surrounded by the aroma of tea, he said, "You know, it's not easy for us to survive. It's normal for me to be wary of you."
Hua Xiaoling smiled and didn't say much.
"You just said that it takes someone dead to contain the black gear, but that doesn't seem right." Lin Xian said, "When I faced Chen Yanxiu, I had already controlled the situation. No one died."
Hua Xiaoling picked up the Fairness Cup, her wrist hovering three inches above the teacup. The tea soup flowed like a stream, the arc of light immersed in the jade cup, the water level was precisely level, and not a drop of water touched the rim of the cup. After everything was done, she pushed a cup of hot tea in front of Lin Xian and said calmly:
"What about before this? Haven't you ever killed anyone?"
Lin Xian's expression paused slightly, and he suddenly remembered something.
In the monitoring hall on the upper level of the deep-water port, they did kill a humanoid experimental subject.
"Silver pocket watch..." Lin Xian frowned: "No wonder, that guy was waiting for me on purpose."
At this moment, Lin Xian felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that he had stepped into a big pit. This guy named Chen was really not simple. A black gear almost made him fail, and even the South Heaven Gate was lost. If he had not calmed down at the last moment, he would have been teleported to the South Heaven Gate and faced the erupting dark torrent, and the South Heaven Gate would have become the wreckage ravaged by the space monster.
After figuring this out, Lin Xian turned his attention to Hua Xiaoling: "Then, are you coming to me to communicate with the Phoenix Society on behalf of the Foundation?"
"You can understand it that way."
Lin Xian frowned. "I don't understand. How can you worship that dark civilization and help humans at the same time?"
He glanced at the teacup in front of him, his eyes cold: "Don't tell me you are playing Mission Impossible."
Hua Xiaoling looked up at Lin Xian and smiled, "Captain Lin, perhaps you should realize that the logic of the world isn't black and white, friend or foe, or the opposition between good and evil. The survival of human civilization isn't just about escaping Blue Planet or destroying dark civilization, as simple and crude as that."
Lin Xian frowned: "Are you talking about the advent of fusion and unification?"
He had heard this from Chen Yanxiu, and Gu Zheng had also thought about it.
Hua Xiaoling's eyes calmly changed for a moment. She did not try to explain, but turned to look at the suspended holographic device beside her and spoke softly.
"Don't you want to know what the dark civilization, Xingyuan, is? Tonight you may have a completely new understanding."
Lin Xian's expression tightened, and he also looked towards the device.
The spherical holographic device looked like a flying drone, but the eyes of the projection on it were empty and deep. When it was quietly suspended there, Lin Xian's scan showed that it was indeed a mechanical projection device. However, when Lin Xian looked at it at this time, he clearly felt a sense of concentration that made his hair stand on end.
At this time, as Hua Xiaoling's voice fell, a blue arc of light began to flash in the center of the projection device, and then a holographic light and shadow began to gradually unfold and expand, instantly covering the entire tent space, and the light curtain that was originally supposed to be blue lines began to become colorful, as if a world with extremely high-definition precision was projected out.
Lin Xian only felt a dazzling flash of light before his eyes. He subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils shrank immediately.
He was still sitting on the chair, but the table, chairs and tea set in front of him were gone. Only Hua Xiaoling was left standing with her back to him.
The most bizarre thing was that Hua Xiaoling was completely naked at this moment, standing there as if she had nothing at the beginning, and then slowly turned around and looked at Lin Xian in his surprised gaze.
At this moment, Lin Xian only felt a cold sweat all over his body, and his hair stood on end.
Hua Xiaoling was smiling at this moment, but when Lin Xian saw the face that was so clear and familiar just now, an absurd thought was about to emerge in his mind.
That is, the Hua Xiaoling in the light and shadow in front of us is not herself.
But another kind of creature.
A presence from the darkness.
Staring at him!
